If this is the tour they played the all ages at Whakatane Memorial Hall, then that was pretty much my first gig, at the ripe old age of 13. Good to have older siblings with taste, who didn't mind me tagging along.

Funny I havent heard Rachel warn the contestants on that piece of shit show about this yet. But one look at Ali C and you can tell those long hours waiting around...... well. Or is that just post success indulging

These are magnificent. I have personal fave that's not here - (I think it's one of Murray's) - the portrait of the Meemees that was a RIU cover, taken in front of the Farmers Santa. For me, an iconic shot of NZ rock n roll.

Hey Murray, looking at these photos it occurred to me that I wanted to thank you for your sterling work with Land of the Good Groove at Zanzibar - those nights remain, however many years later, some of my fondest memories. You reckoned we couldn't dance to Shake by Otis Redding, but we gave it a bash anyway...
